EnvoyCon 2020 is scheduled as a virtual event this week.

Envoy which was the third project to graduate from CNCF behind Kubernetes and Prometheus was originally created at Lyft. It’s a high performant edge/middle/service proxy well suited for cloud-native and service mesh applications.

InfoQ caught up with creator of Envoy, engineer at Lyft and self-described plumber, Matt Klein regarding Envoy ahead of EnvoyCon 2020 about the rapid rise of both the technology and community.
